It is hard to believe that one year ago today I started my blog! My inspiration behind starting my writing was the beginning of our journey to become parents. At the time I had turned to the internet to research adoption and look for groups or networks, but also to read about experiences that reflected ours. There really wasn’t a lot of information available, let alone being Canadian specific or involving an LGBT couple.

The last year has been a wonderful growth journey, we have grown as a couple and are even more prepared today to start a family.

Over the past year I have met many great people through my blog and was able to celebrate with fellow bloggers when their dream of starting a family came true.

Most importantly, my blog has given me a space to express myself and share our journey. Hopefully along the way, I have been able to help educate others who may be on their journey or thinking of starting the journey of adoption.

It hasn’t always been easy to keep up with regular posts. Out of curiosity I looked back at the number of posts I have written, and it is 52. That means I have averaged one per week! Whoo hoo!

Keep on reading friends, there are more great things ahead I am sure. On my blogiversary I have asked myself, “What happens once we are matched with a child, what direction will I go with my blog?”.

My plan for the blog once we are successful in our journey is to share our experiences as new parents and all of the joy, challenges and zany adventures that will come along the way. So please keep following and thank you for joining us on our journey.
